Jerome Seagears, shown leaping in front of Drexel's Frantz Massenat (4), will once again transfer from Rutgers.

The handwriting has been on the locker-room wall for months, and on Monday it became public: Junior guard Jerome Seagears is leaving the Rutgers men's basketball program - again.

Seagears, who briefly transferred to Auburn last spring after former head coach Mike Rice was fired, was disgruntled for much of this past season under new coach Eddie Jordan. Jordan routinely looked for other solutions in the backcourt - moving Myles Mack to point guard, sliding J.J. Moore over to shooting guard and, down the stretch, calling on seldom-used sophomore Kerwin Okoro.
